A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this typewhich can be bodily substituted for the usual arm rest of the chair.

The invention further aims to provide a device of this type which is ofsimple and economical construction which can be easily and quicklyapplied to position and operated.

In the drawing:

Fig. l is a side elevation of the invention applied to a barbers chair,the latter shown in fragment;

Fig. 2 is a top plan view partly broken away;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged section on line 33 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. l of another form of the invention.

In proceeding in accordance with the present invention, a container 1 isemployed having laterally projecting longitudinal flanges 2 at its topto engage with the flanges 3 of a sliding cover 4, the flanges 3 beingbent to engage about the flan es 2 whereby to afford a slidable mountingfor the cover. The interior of the container is provided with a seriesof compartments 5, 6, and '7 adapted to contain face lotions or water.The

bottom of the container has a pair of arms 8 and 9 rigidly securedthereto, the arms being curved and received between the usual lugs 10and 11 respectively, common to barber chairs and being attached inposition by means of the usual bolts 12. The compartments may be linedwith glass as shown in Fig. 3 or the entire container may be formed ofglass as desired. As depicted in Fig. 3 the compartments have outlets 13surrounded by a valve casing 14 which is threaded into engagement withthe container 1 and which has a valve seat 15 for a loose ball valve 16which latter is tensioned by a coil spring 17. The stem 18 for unseatingthe valve is slidable in the casing and through a closure 19 threadedinto engagement with the casing. The closure 19 has outlets 20surrounding the stem 18 while the latter has a stop 21 to engage theclosure and restrict downward movement of the stem. The stem has a handengaging disk or member 22 on its outer end. In this form of theinvention the usual arm of the chair is removed and the arms 8 and 9 ofthe present invention are applied to the chair in the position occupiedby the usual arm of the chair, so that the instant invention affords asubstitute for the original arm.
